Some are HODLing it wrong

[Russlenat]

Let's just face the fact that some are able to invest more, but the problem is, they can't bear the fact that they will still lose in the long run when all they know they have made the best for their investment.

Big investors will definitely chose to invest a significant amount, but knowing that the market is highly volatile, there is no guarantee that the amount you invested will always be compensated well. Some just invest the right amount, but maybe they are hodling it with less patience and less understanding the market.

However, those who are mostly patient are only those who are investing a small amount, and expect that their profits are also in a minimal amount.

IMHO, there are also big investors who are patient and are experienced. That's why they can bear the market pressure and don't have any problems dealing with it. They're chill and are okay waiting for the right time to profit. But I agree that most of the ones who are investing small amounts are fine however the market is doing because they've invested an amount of money that they can afford to lose. Thus, that's okay for them whatever happens to the market. But if someone is a long term and big investor, they also know what to do in bad times.

No one knows for sure what to do in bad times. But if you invested an amount that you can afford to lose, you just don't care much, you can wait and lose in the worst case scenario 90% of your investment and be okay with that, while if it's 90% of all your life saving you won't be be okay with that for sure. Don't risk too much money and wait until you can have 10x of your investment. And even it were just $100, $1k profit isn't that bad, right?

Is there any better way of hodling Bitcoin rather than buying and hodling long term anything other than this be prepared to be in huge loses. Some get it wrong whereby they buy and hodl and the market seems not favourable they'll decide to sell off thinking they are doing themselves good but ending up loosing their assets in the long run.

For sure, those who decide to invest in big amount might started putting into bitcoin a small amount first, and when they have proven that bitcoin is the key to bigger income, that's when they start elevating the budget intended for bitcoin.

Patience is never that complicated but at some point, some investors just find it so hard to be patient, probably because of uncontrollable greed that becomes a threat in losing your bitcoin, rather than seeing profits in it.

Every so often, a new cryptocurrency emerges. Once it becomes popular, it's no longer clear where to invest. You just have to take a risk. Research literature is also useful, but when it comes to making decisions, you have to think twice before investing all your assets.

Bitcoin did what it always does it moved and tested weak hands. The problem is people trying to juice returns instead of respecting volatility. Borrowing to buy bitcoin turns a long term asset into a short term liability.

Well, most of the long term holders will just do nothing or will accumulate more. That's what we'd do but we won't panic at all. We've been through bad times and I think our experience tells us what's the best thing to do in those times. With the amount that we have invested, it's an amount that we can afford to lose and as we add more, we think that it's best to accumulate even by little. It's still possible to lose 90% of our entire money in bitcoin but I don't think that we'll still go back to those times.

Being inexperienced is what makes them greedy and when they've been through those moments when the market is dumping a lot, they'd likely feel sorry all over it when they have made a decision that's inappropriate which they'll regret later.

Bitcoin fell 30% from 109k to about 85k just recently. That's normal. We've all seen worse. Interestingly, there are some all in on Bitcoin lost way more than 30%. Not because Bitcoin failed them, but because the way in which they held Bitcoin failed them.

I’ve come across a thread on the forum that talked about, those selling to not be very active holders.

Anyone that chooses to sell because Bitcoin price is falling isn’t an active holder. Holders are often in this for the long time and true holders don’t sell except they are in profit. Hence, Bitcoin can’t fail you and doesn’t fail no one by simply moving on the charts. It’s more of an individual decision and the cut lose initiative rather than see it sail all the way through to profit that fails investors.

Actually, mature and thoughtful people can be more prudent in their approach to matters like taking out loans. I wouldn't see it as a bad option as long as the borrowed money isn't used to invest in Bitcoin. It can be used for other things, such as adding more fast-moving items to our own stores or businesses that generate substantial daily sales. So, the issue isn't whether taking out a loan is right or wrong, but rather where or how the loan is used. Not all borrowed funds are suitable, especially since it's an investment with inherent risks.

I didn't know there was a right way to hold Bitcoin. For me, it's just a matter of buying it and not touching it for the period you stipulate. At some point you'll have to move it, sell it, I don't know, cryptocurrencies have to circulate to be considered useful in an economy. After all, if we invest with the intention of generating wealth, what's the benefit of just holding it?

It's easier to be patient when you are not becoming greedy in your investment, regardless if you are a big or small investor. That is always the key.

However, patience comes with experience. The more you're experienced in the market, the more likely you will achieve patience in your investment. This is why only few big investors are hodling the right way and with high patience, the rest are hodling with greed and want to make quick profits just like those newbies who keep entering in the market for instant gains.

[mirakal]

Hodling in real is not that complicated. You just buy and hold patiently, and that's it, future profits are guaranteed. The problem with most of the people is that they are not patient to wait for the perfect timing to sell and make profits, that's the reason when greed comes in, the essence of waiting is no longer there but replaced with too much love for money in an instant.

Well no doubt that some holder will miscalculate while seem some changes in the market as fear will grip them not to continue because it's not easy watch your investment drain down from where it's before when some profit has been seen , but this set of investor, for me hard minimal knowledge, because their mindset is more of a trader else no better way to hold Bitcoin than using the long term system where one can confidently see better outcome as the market will definitely come back after some changes within the least period 4years which is the cycle, but some just engaged as the market is green before 5 months they are already panicking as the market turn red instead of accumulating more during this period that leads to more losses of such investor. The best way to enjoy the good outcome of investing in Bitcoin is no other way than long term holding , one must be prepared to face and endure nothing more anything contrary leads wrong decision.

That's lack of experience most people are patient enough to HODL but they lack experience, those who are experienced will know what to do when the market is not favourable. No, not at all I'm not sure if that's what they think they are just selling it due to lack of experience you should know the feeling when you're new into something if you see that things is going wrong you might be forced to take the available one due to pressure. it is always very hard for newbies that doesn't have enough experience about bitcoin investment to make the right decision during that process.

Yeah, I too think it's very unlikely, especially when you don't panic-sell your BTC when it dropped to the lowest in years. If you've invested what can afford to lose, there's no reason for selling during bears. You should be ready to lose it all, and then you'll have the strength to wait until your investment brings you profits. I'd suggest doing something else than checking CoinMarketCap every day during bears.

You know in cryptocurrency there is one advice which should be noted by any Traders, " always invest what you can afford to lose ". Some of the people who normally make decision of selling their Bitcoin when they realize that the market is going down, they are kind of people who invested their savings, that is why they always rush to destroy themselves. Why I use the word destroy is because normally some of them always think that bitcoin can be a shortcut to success for them, some of them also went to the length of borrowing money promising to return in a short-term, Just because they believe that bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme that will help them get rich in time.

Investors in this space are not giving up anytime soon, some are hard heads who wouldn't give up because they know exactly what they want and the future of them ahead. They have calmly calculated and know the rooting system of either making it to the top or not. Do you think it's unwise to buy and hold without significance? Common we all want to earn good profits in the crypto market and there'd no way we would let opportunities slide down without taking them.

It's that simple just for HODLing bitcoin, what they can't afford is patience that is as thin as tissue, they usually can't stand waiting until 1 cycle let alone several cycles, when there is already a little profit they see they sell it, then when the price has reached ATH at the peak they regret it.

Actually, patience needs to be improved because it is the core of success where you will get a decent profit in bitcoin while holding it. Must have a strong hand to be able to remain consistent.
